Hello,

I am currently having windows 2k running on c:\ and windows xp running
on d:\. both in ntfs format. I now want to install a linux on c:\
while leaving xp on d:\. Is it possible to do it without affecting
windows xp? Reinstall xp wouldn't be an option for me since I've got
many important applications runing on it. Are there any options to get
around this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Sparks,

You should be able to do that no problem. Most installations of Linux will
even put a nice little boot menu on your machine to let you select which OS
to load.

If you're new to Linux then something like Suse, Mandrake or Fedora would be
a good place to start.

Best wishes,
Scott.
